Chapter 33 Confinement of the Crown Princess
"Concubine, please retire."
She didn't get much favor from the prince, and the princess didn't want to watch Li Chengqian and Liu Shi show their affection, so she was ready to leave.
"I would like to say one more thing, live a good life and don't make any mistakes. Otherwise, you won't regret it."
Li Chengqian said this unexpectedly. Although Li Chengqian didn't have a good face towards the Crown Princess in the past. After all, Li Chengqian was more evil in doing things, but he had never said such threatening words. This is the first time today.
"Your Highness, I am doing this for the sake of the entire East Palace."
The Crown Princess turned around, her eyes filled with anxiety, as if she was really worried about the entire East Palace.
"His younger brothers and sisters are still young. If you don't care about the future of the children, then you will continue to make trouble. With blood ties, these younger ones may be able to get some glory, but if you put this blood ties into If all the money is spent, even my words will be of no use."
Seeing that the Crown Princess was stubborn, Li Chengqian could only speak openly.
Li Chengqian knew his situation and it was impossible to turn things around with the emperor, but there were still several children in the family. The future of these children probably depends on Li Xiang. If the Crown Princess continues to find trouble in the future, I am afraid these children... …
"Isn't he the deputy director of the Liaodong Division of the Ministry of War? Even the children of my brother's family are higher than this official position..."
The Crown Princess did not dare to resist openly, but just whispered a few words. Li Chengqian felt that this woman was really stupid. If it were just this woman, Li Chengqian would have ignored it a long time ago, but thinking about how many children there are down there, if it were caused by If this woman is causing trouble, then the relationship between those children and Li Xiang...
"Shut up and get back to your courtyard. From now on, no one can let you out without me. From now on, the Liu family will be responsible for the external connection of the East Palace."
Li Chengqian slapped the table and decided the life of the crown princess. Although Li Chengqian was not favored by the emperor, he was still the prince of the Tang Dynasty after all. In the three-acre land of the East Palace, Li Chengqian's words were still worthy of heaven.
"Your Highness, you can't! What did I do wrong? I want Your Highness to lock me up..."
The princess panicked when she heard this. Although Li Chengqian often scolded her in the past, it did not cause any real harm. Now if she is trapped in her own yard, nothing can be done. What's more, everyone in the East Palace has a hundred evil intentions. Seeing that the Crown Princess is now trapped, she will lean towards Li Xiang in the future.
Li Chengqian was too lazy to talk nonsense and waved to his men. Qian Ping had already followed Li Xiang out. This was what Li Chengqian meant. Among all the eunuchs in the East Palace, Qian Ping could be said to be the most knowledgeable. Such a person should Following Li Xiang, Zhang Chengcheng, the deputy chief eunuch of the East Palace, is the most useful person now that Qian Ping has left.
Although this man had benefited from the Crown Princess before, under the wrath of His Royal Highness, he didn't say a word and took the Crown Princess back with a few eunuchs.
Others think it is His Highness the Crown Prince's dislike of the Crown Princess, but Li Chengqian himself understands that locking you up is also a way to protect you and your father. Although the things you do every day are not evil things, they add up to a big thing. If Li Xiang is disgusted, it will have no good consequences for you or your father.
I hope you can understand my painstaking efforts!
Looking at the princess being pulled out, Li Chengqian also felt pain in his heart.
"Your Highness, I have never been out of the East Palace. If I make a joke in front of outsiders, I will still lose Your Highness. Your Majesty is the mistress of the East Palace. If something happens, Your Highness will just scold you a few times, but you must not bring her down." Empress, circle around..."
Originally, Mrs. Liu's status was not much better than that of a palace maid, and she had never seen the various struggles at the top. After seeing this scene today, she instinctively trembled with fear and knelt down beside her to say these words.
"Find a few old women to follow you. They all know the rules and will naturally tell you what to do. Don't be afraid yourself. You are already at the fifth level now. Your son is the eldest grandson of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty. My husband is the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty, so please don’t lose the reputation of the East Palace outside."
Li Chengqian knew that it would not take a day or two for the Liu family to change, but he happened to be sealed in the East Palace and could not leave without the emperor, so he could teach the Liu family well.
Outside the East Palace
According to the rules of the Tang Dynasty, Li Xiang could take the emperor's grandson's carriage today if he was going to work at the Ministry of War. However, Li Xiang still chose to ride a horse. After all, he was only an official of the Liaodong Division. If he had to ride in a sedan, he could only ride two people. Li Xiang felt that the small sedan he was carrying was a little unstable, so he might as well choose to ride a horse.
"Xiang'er, are you going to work in the Ministry of War?"
When Li Xiang was about to move forward, he found a luxurious carriage stopped at the fork in the road. The carriage of his cousin's eldest aunt Sun Pingting...
"Getting ready to go."
Li Xiang got off his horse and bowed politely. During the Zhenguan period, the Tang Dynasty valued seniority more than etiquette. Children of the royal family and nobles met each other according to their age and seniority unless they were on formal occasions.
"Get in the car, my aunt is just on the way."
The elders invited her, but the younger ones didn't dare to refuse, but Li Xiang also understood that this cousin had a hundred intentions, and there was no way she was passing by the East Palace on purpose.
Changsun Pingting did come intentionally, and she also knew Li Xiang's schedule today. If she didn't take advantage of the half hour on the road to talk, I'm afraid there would be no other chance today. After all, after the discussion at the Ministry of War Yamen, there would be no other chance. Know where Li Xiang is going.
Early this morning, Li Xiang's men handed a hundred kilograms of liquor into Changsun Pingting's hands. It was indeed the same liquor as what she drank that day.
Late yesterday, word spread in Chang'an City that the liquor produced by Li Xiang had not yet been put on the market, but it was already boasted by Changsun Wuji. The emperor and the two princes almost got into a fight in the main hall over this liquor. Everyone I also know that Changsun Mansion is in charge of sales, and a pound of liquor costs five taels of silver, with a daily sales limit of one hundred pounds.
With these names alone, this liquor has become very popular, so Changsun Pingting has already received the full advance payment of 500 taels of silver.
Although she had already made an estimate in her mind, she still did not expect that the rich people in Chang'an City would be so generous. Therefore, Changsun Pingting ignored the rules and immediately asked her coachman to drive the carriage to the East Palace, where Li Xiang was going to be the guest. It’s worth discussing a few things on the way...
